Keepin' It Clean

Over the next few months, we should (in theory) start seeing cases of the Covid-19 virus start tapering down.  The vaccine is out and cases are spiking.  More cases means more people with the anti-bodies and less spreading.  We want to remain diligent in our efforts to combat the virus and other ailments in our gym.   In addition to our normal stringent cleaning procedures, we are also having the gym sanitized by a professional company.  We do ask that all members continue to also remain diligent.  BJJ is a close proximity art and hygiene is essential to keeping yourself and your teammates healthy.  Here are a few tips to help with mat hygiene;

  • If you are sick – don’t come in. Period.

  • Always be clean, wear a clean gi. No excuses

  • Keep hair up and fingernails trimmed

  • Wear sandals or shoes anytime off the mat

  • Use hand sanitizer often.

  • Wash hands before getting on the mat

  • Wear a rash guard. This has little to do with covid but will help keep other virus such as staph, strep, ringworm, etc – off the mats. Less skin on skin contact = less skin infections. Plus the gi comes open, aint nobody want your hairy chest all in they face!

  • Mouthwash. We keep some under the sink in the gym. Grab a paper cup and go for it. Your training partners will be glad you did.

  • Wash your belt at least once per week. It doesn’t kill the mojo but helps with hygiene in the dojo.

  • Shower directly after class

We just want everyone to remain healthy and get the most out of the training experience.  Nobody likes rolling with the stinky guy.  Don’t be that guy.
